Pilot to Enter or Leave Knysna Lagoon RSA
Knysna Heads has two dangerous bars to cross. Best attempted at low slack water and less than 3m swell. However, once in the Lagoon it is well protected and with good amenities.
Knysna (South-Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Knysna in South-Africa.
Two impressive sandstone cliffs known as The Heads flank the magnificent lagoon of Knysna on the South African coast close to the Indian Ocean. The Knysna Lagoon is not only popular with tourists as the combination of both salt and freshwater from the Outeniqua Mountains also attracts many endangered species of fish. The lagoon is home to the rare Knysna Seahorse that is otherwise known as the Hipocampus Capensis. Moving inland from the estuary and the two Heads the water becomes increasingly calm. Indeed it is difficult to believe that only a few kilometres away lies one of the most treacherous and feared coastlines in the world. But beyond the lagoon's rocks and boulders all is peaceful and idyllic, a place where ornithologists can observe a large variety of birdlife. Due to its magnificent location close to forests, mountains and ocean in addition to its increasing number of leisure facilities, Knysna is one of South Africa's most popular Garden Route destinations.

Knysna South Africa - The Heart of the Garden Route | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Located on South Africa’s famous Garden Route, Knysna (pronounced as ‘ny-zah’), is one of the country’s most famous locations. It is a natural paradise of lush, indigenous forests, tranquil lakes, wildlife and golden beaches. The breathtakingly pretty lagoon is now a protected marine reserve that is home to the extraordinary sea horse and over 200 species of fish.
The endangered Knysna seahorse is named after the town and can be spotted during a good snorkeling session in the estuary.
We really enjoyed the view from the heads - a striking geological spot made up of a pair of huge, brightly coloured cliffs lying at the mouth of the lagoon, flanking a channel of potentially treacherous water that flows into Knysna lagoon. We were told that from the banks of the rocks we could see whales because Knysna is on the migratory route of the Southern Right and other species but unfortunately we weren't able to see one these marine mammals.
Enjoy the video and let us know where you’re watching from!

An einer großen Lagune am Indischen Ozean gelegen, ist Knysna ( Naisna gesprochen ) die Perle der Garden Route, einem 200km Streifen am südlichsten Teil Südafrikas, bestehend aus Urwald, Seen, Flüssen, Gebirgen am Indischen Ozean.
Der ruhige Urlaubsort wurde im Jahr 2000 und 2002 zum
südafrikanischen Town of the year gewählt - ein Traumziel am Indischen Ozean, mit Yachthafen, world class Golfplätzen, europäischer Luxusinfrastruktur ähnlich St. Tropez, nur wesentlich günstiger und nie überlaufen ....es gibt alles ausser Wintersport.
ENGLISH: Knysna is the heart of the Garden Route, a 250km stretch of coastline between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, has about 75,000 inhabitants and is themost popular tourist destination in South Africa. Several times, the city was awarded as the most beautiful city.
The situation in the protected lagoon is unique. Knysna is surrounded by a160 km wide forest belt, in which the last forest elephants live.The unique nature, the flora and fauna of the continent can be found bundled here. Even the finest golf resorts in the world can be found, where the stars indicate the source. Surrounded by nature reserves with European-standard infrastructure Knysna is the tip for vacation, investment or retirement. ( Suburbs Brenton on Sea, Brenton on Lake, Brenton )
The immensely popular tourist town of Knsyna is flanked by the Knysna heads. Two striking masses of land guard the entrance to the lagoon where the British first set foot in 1804.
The Western head features ancient caves and looming cliffs which overlook the treacherous, churning water below. Undoubtedly, cruising the lagoon and exploring the Nature Reserve on the Western head is the highlight of many trips to Knysna.
On the eastern head you will find 5 Star Guesthouses and the homes of the millionärs with stunning views to the lagoon and the indian ozean, where you see whales, dolphins, seals and sharks

Knysna South Africa
#knysna, #gardenroute
Knysna, a pearl of the scenic Garden Route, is situated between George and Plettenberg Bay. Perennially green thanks to a Mediterranean Maritime climate with rain falling throughout the year, Knysna is mantled by indigenous forests extending into the Tsitsikamma National Park area. Nestled between the impressive Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean, the culinary capital of oysters and other delectable seafood is a compulsory stopover on every traveler's itinerary. At the heart of Knysna is a lagoon protected from the sea by the monolithic sandstone Heads Webcam– best explored on board a catamaran or from along hiking paths in the Featherbed Nature Reserve. A hotspot for art and craft, as well as adventure activities such as tree canopy gliding, kloofing and abseiling, Knysna offers something to everybody.
The peculiarity of the origin of the place-name Knysna is commonly explained with a light-hearted joke of two German tourists traveling to Knysna, and upon reaching the lookout point on the eastern Knysna Head, the one says to the other: 'Nice, na?'. On a more serious note, Knysna is believed to be derived from a Khoi word for place of wood, or fern leaves, but most probable straight down or hard to reach - referring to the steep Knysna Heads.

Just a quick visit at the Knysna heads. The birds were a bit hectic and wanted to attack the drone. Wanted to do some low flying.
